Engine Revs hunting on Idle
Engine Revs hunting on Idle
Evening all,
the car has done this since i bought it, ive cleaned the TB and reset the ECU and it continued to hunt on idle.
it sits at around 900rpm for a while and then the revs drop a little bit and the lights dim (if on) and the revs almost immediatley pick up and then it idles at 1000rpm for a while before returning to 900.
A video is below (Ignore the warning light its because i used the wiring from the parcel shelf light for the boot spoiler and i havnt bothered to sort it)
my question is: Is this normal idle behavior for a warm 1G-FE or is there a problem?

have you got the aircon on?
i would bet its the clutch dropping in and out, its supposed to do that
just try it mate, turn the aircon off and it shouldnt happen then.
the ecu does attempt to compensate but it cant be perfect
